Zerophilia

In the sleepy suburbs of a modern American town, Luke lives a routine life of lectures, late‑night gaming sessions, and quiet friendships. His world tilts on its axis the moment he meets a charismatic British exchange student whose quick smile and effortless charm draw him out of his comfortable shell. Their chemistry is immediate, but it soon becomes clear that something extraordinary is at play.

An unexpected physiological response awakens in Luke whenever desire flares: his body begins to shift, swapping traditionally male and female characteristics in a bewildering dance of transformation. The phenomenon is as comedic as it is uncomfortable, turning everyday moments—class presentations, coffee shop encounters, late‑night conversations—into a series of awkward yet oddly tender experiments. As he grapples with the unpredictable nature of his new condition, Luke finds himself juggling the hilarity of sudden changes with a deeper, more intimate quest for self‑understanding.

Against this backdrop of humor and bewilderment, the film balances light‑hearted absurdity with genuine emotional stakes. The tone is breezy and witty, yet it never shies away from the vulnerability that comes with navigating an identity that refuses to stay still. Through Luke’s eyes, we glimpse a world where the boundaries of gender feel fluid, and where the search for acceptance—both from others and within oneself—becomes a journey as unpredictable as the transformations themselves. The story invites audiences to wonder how far one will go to keep a budding romance alive when the very fabric of the self is constantly in motion.
